The Washington Spirit are fresh off their first win of the 2014 season and will be looking to continue the momentum as they try to best US Women’s National Team goalkeeper, Hope Solo as she minds the net for the Reign. The Spirit’s first win came in their second game of the season versus FC Kansas City. Midfielder Diana Matheson proved to be a fierce competitor scoring two of the Spirit’s three goals. Christine Nairn has also established herself as a dangerous set piece player, bending the ball into the top left corner of the goal, scoring the third and final tally of the game.
